## How to configure To configure the generator: 1. In the **Minimum** field, type the minimum value to use in the output values.\ \ The minimum value is inclusive. The output values can be that value or higher. 2. In the **Maximum** field, type the maximum value to use in the output values.\ \ The maximum value is exclusive. The output values are lower than that value. 3. If [Structural data encryption](/app/generation/generators-assign-config/generators-data-encryption-config.md) is enabled, then to use it for this column, in the advanced options section, toggle **Use data encryption process** to the on position. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
